The state secretary of the “union state” Pavel Borodin has sated that the “Parliamentary election” election that has taken place in Belarus, comply not only with the Constitution of the country, but with all international norms.

He was surprised by the appeals to follow such European standards in holding elections, while Europe and America fall short of these standards themselves. In particular, Borodin noted, Belarus allowed all observers who wished that to monitor the election on September 28. “When I asked opposition representatives why such difference is observed, they said that Europe and the US have such a democracy. Well, they this kind of democracy. And we have a democracy too. Our democracy,” Borodin stated.

Besides, Borodin believes that the newly elected “deputies” will increase attractiveness of the “union state”, so that it is possible that “the whole Europe with its sausages and ketchup” would desire to join the “union state”.
